GROTON -- The Groton Scholarship Committee is seeking well-rounded students need of financial assistance for college.

Over the last 10 years, the committee has awarded more than $70,000 to graduating high-school seniors. The grants are typically in the amount of $500 or $1,000. The committee is currently raising money for the 2013 awards, hoping to exceed last year's award levels through the generous, tax-deductible contributions of Groton residents and local businesses.

The awards will apply to the fall 2013 semester of college, and will be distributed pending the students' successful completion of that semester.

The committee seeks applicants who demonstrate scholastic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities and community service, and good character, and who are going on to pursue their academic career at a two- or four-year accredited institution.

Applicants must be residents of Groton but may attend any public or independent high school.

Applications are available at the Town Clerk's Office at Groton Town Hall, as well as at the guidance offices of Groton-Dunstable Regional High School, Nashoba Valley Technical High School, Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School, Lawrence Academy and Groton School. Applications for the scholarships must be submitted to Groton Town Hall by May 3.
